Christmas is that time of year we bring out those traditional and beloved holiday movie classics such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Christmas Story or It's A Wonderful Life and cuddle up with a loved one in front of the fireplace for a nice evening together. While that is all good and fine I believe that Christmas can also be a good avenue to explore other ways of celebrating our lord and savior through the medium of film. Those other avenues are of course people having their necks broken, being blown up, tortured, little creatures tormenting them, killed by yuppie murderers, bodily dismemberment and being relentlessly hunted by our government...and those are just for starters. Those other holiday films may be traditional but remember this, traditions are meant to be broken...or at the very least expanded upon.
This is my countdown of the 12 most violent and rather unorthodox Christmas films I could find that help spread the holiday cheer while also giving us a good body count to boot. I will rate each film based solely on the amount of Holiday Cheer and the amount of Violence they help give us in this season of joy. In regards to whether or not the films are actually good is secondary for this list, but keep in mind that I would never even mention a film if it didn't have some redeeming values to it. If you find yourself home one night wanting a nice Christmas movie to throw on but also have a yearning for some good old fashioned bloody carnage then I hope this list will help you satisfy both those needs at once. So without further ado I invite you to join in on my holiday movie tradition and experience this Christmas with a little green and lots of red. Lets get to it shall we?
This is it, the final day is upon us. I hope you got some sort of enjoyment out of this list or maybe you decided to throw one of these movies on while roasting chestnuts over an open fire. Either way thanks for stopping by and have a Merry "non-violent" Christmas!
